Part-Time Ghost Hunters

Part-Time Ghost Hunters

A young couple
explains why they are so fascinated with ghost hunting.

An old
friend used to tell me that, “Easy to invite these ‘beings’ but so difficult to
send them away”. I think what he means it that we should never intentionally or
deliberately mess with the paranormal beings. Instead we should avoid as
much as we can these ‘beings’.

However, I
guess some younger people are attracted to the existence or the mysteries of
the realm of the afterlife. In fact, they will even the purchase the equipments
to specially search for the supernatural.

Equipment for Ghost
Hunting

I accidentally
met with Polly and Benjamin when I was waiting (patiently…argh!) for my wife at
a shopping mall. Polly Teoh and Benjamin Liew are good friends with Tommie, who
is my neighbours’ son. I wrote a short article about Ghost Hunting in my
earlier blog.

Poly and Benjamin
joined me for a drink and we talked about the latest day to day stuff. I asked
them why were they so interested about Ghost Hunting – I would jokingly refer
to them as Part-Time Ghost Hunters.

Polly
explained that when she was studying in Convent Sentul, she was with another
girl in class. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed something whitish flashing
across in front of her. She was absolutely scared and horrified then the other
student started crying uncontrollably. The other girl looks like as if she was
possessed and kept crying. After that incident, her Malay teacher told her that
the girl was possessed by a spirit. Ever since that day, Polly was obsessed
with the existence of the paranormal or supernatural.

However
Polly have not encountered any spooky or weird incidents except for one
particular episode. This was a couple of years ago, when a group of them met
one night, to look for a haunted bungalow in Puchong.

The boys and girls were happily
marching to the bungalow with their so-called ghost-hunting equipments. It was
extremely dark night with a few lamp posts and the bungalow looked deserted
with heavily over-grown lalangs (grass). Unfortunately, the guard wouldn’t let
them in and shouted at them for being so ‘kay po’ (busybody). They had a heated
exchange when they decided to go before the police was called.

When they
were reluctantly leaving, Polly casually turned her eyes to look back at the guard…to
her shocked she saw the guard standing looking at them…but there was a boy
standing behind the guard! The boy was smiling and waved his hand to her.
Scared and frightened, she turned back to her friends and hurriedly asked to
look for the ‘boy’. By the time they manage to look back at the guard – the ‘boy’
was gone!

Oops! I have
to end as I have to take my wife to do a bit of grocery shopping (Argh! again).
I will continue some other time. If you have any comments or experience similar
incidents, please let me know.
